Content Policy
Sword and Quill's mission is to provide a platform to encourage and cultivate human writing.
The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate the bulk of your story is prohibited. Sword and Quill is a platform for human creativity, and we encourage all scribes to craft their tales through genuine effort.
Plagiarism is strictly against the laws of the Aarshnu Valley. You must own the rights to all work posted. Copying copyrighted material (books, movies, fan-fiction from other IPs) as your own work will result in a permanent ban and the loss of all earned accolades.
While we encourage dark fantasy, thrillers, and gritty realism, certain topics are "Forbidden Magic" and have no place in our library.
We have a zero-tolerance policy for stories depicting rape, sexual assault, or the sexual exploitation of any person.
Stories that promote hate or violence against individuals or groups based on race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or gender are prohibited.
Themes of mental health are permitted, but the instructional glorification of self-harm is forbidden.
Writers have a responsibility to their readers. If your story contains mature themes allowed by the policy (Graphic Violence, Profanity, Consensual Adult Themes), you must apply the appropriate Content Runes during the "Metadata Forge" process. Failure to label your work correctly will result in the story being moved to "Private" mode.
We recognize that writers often move work from other processors such as Word. Pasting is permitted, but large "Data Dumps" may trigger a manual review before a quest is marked as "Successful" to ensure it aligns with our True Craft principle.
